[Bug 301332] Re: linux-rt : Xorg crash with nvidia driver installed

[ktulu77]

I think it is a bug. The only thing I see, is if I want to do  computer
music, I install the linux-rt kernel, and when I start on it, Xorg is
crashing if I have previously installed the nvidia-restricted-drivers
(which are proposed by ubuntu on first boot).

For now, it is impossible to do  computer music easily on Ubuntu for
people which has an nvidia card. We have no informations when X is
crashing, and what we should do.

I already tried to play with nvidia driver sources in the past,
recompiled it with the linux-rt kernel, etc. There was a lot of
problems, I had to purge a lot of packages (all related with nvidia,
like restricted-modules, which  was a problem because it was disabling
also other restricted drivers) Then the drivers was not working anymore.
It is not a clean and easy way to have the linux-rt working.

I really need the nvidia restricted drivers to work because I would like
to use the twinview function to do computer music.

Perhaps I should use Ubuntu Studio, but I think it is a shame to have to
install two OS just for this problem.
